Let us know what you think!
First Meal: You can’t tell but this is a bowl of Oats, smothered with Blueberries and Coconut. Second Meal: The bean du jour is the Rancho Gordo Cranberry Bean. We had them on Corn Tortillas with Quinoa, Avocado and Tomato Cashew Cream Sauce
First Meal: For dessert or breakfast, I am nuts over Thin Stackers with Almond Butter and Date Paste. Sliced Oranges and a little Cashew Yogurt on the side completed the plate. Second Meal: Today was housecleaning day for mom and I sit with her so the housekeeper can do her work. Afterwards I made…
First Meal: Gary and I were going in super early for more auditions today. We arrived at Actor’s Equity at about 7:45am and there was another big crowd of people waiting. This time we were numbers 51 and 52. At 8am they let us upstairs to the audition rooms. We got our times. I chose…
First Meal: Gary was going to try to cram in an audition but in the end he got up a little later in the morning and went to his acting class. I prepared some music for what I want to sing for tomorrow’s auditions and I ate a Banana. Second Meal: We were both…
First Meal: Here’s another version of what I call a Hotel Breakfast, fresh fruits and baked breakfast breads. I couldn’t wait to have another couple of Apricot Danishes that I made yesterday. We had them with fresh sliced Oranges, Apples and Bananas. Gary made the Teeccino with his excellent Soy Foam. Second Meal: I…
First Meal: I love waking up on a Saturday morning and baking. I went to sleep with Gooey Apricot Danishes on my mind. I made up the recipe four years ago based on a memory Gary had and haven’t made them since. In reviewing the recipe I came up with some improvements. The result was…
First Meal: Gary and I got up super early again but this time we were both going to the same audition. What fun to be able to do this together. It almost made the pain of getting up early somewhat bearable. We arrived at Actors Equity at about 7:45am and the waiting room was full.…
First Meal: I made a new batch of Cashew Yogurt adding less water to make it very thick and rich. Gary says it’s the best. I like it with Date Paste. I made Hemp Milk, blending Hemp Seeds with Water. It’s pretty simple. I had some Houjicha tea and drove out east to visit…
First Meal: Gary had an audition today. This means getting up at the crack of dawn to get a good audition time. We both got up and I went to work. I didn’t eat until he came home. He stopped at Westerly and brought home Peanuts and Coconut covered Dates. We snacked on them as…
First Meal: Just another day at Responsible Eating And Living headquarters. And it starts like this. With Steel Cut Oats, topped with Cacao Nibs, Coconut, Sunflower Seeds, Blueberries and Walnuts. Second Meal: We’ve got a podcast to broadcast today and Gary knew we’d need to eat first. He made his Asian Slaw with Napa…
First Meal: I had two auditions this morning. Auditions are exhausting. I got up early, went to Pearl Studios in Manhattan, sat and waited until I could sign up for one audition, then I signed up for the other and sat and waited for my times to arrive. Gary had an audition too and then…
First Meal: We eat a lot of waffles. Usually our favorite waffles are the ones we are eating. Today’s Fruity Corn Waffles were the best! I made a Date Paste to serve with it. This was decadent. Second Meal: On Sundays I go to tap class. Afterwards, I visited with my friend Linda who…
First Meal: This morning’s first course consisted of sliced Oranges. We went with the “Hotel Breakfast” again. It’s a favorite. Homemade Einkorn Wheat Bread with Almond Butter and Prune Butter. I am committed to eating two Apples a day. I had one at breakfast. We had a date to meet our friends John…
First Meal: The secret to enjoying Oatmeal day after day is having a big variety of toppings. Today the spelling ingredient was Mango. We also added Raisins, Apples and Sunflower Seeds. Second Meal: Dinner included a Romaine Lettuce Salad with Tahini Dressing. Our main plate featured Mashed Potaotes, Roasted Carrots, Broccolette and Tempeh Filets…
First Meal: Gary and I both had theatre auditions this morning in different locations in Manhattan. We both finished at about the same time and decided to celebrate our lives and treat ourselves to breakfast. We went to a chain restaurant we like a lot: Le Pain Quotidien. They have vegan options and some are…
First Breakfast: This is what I call a Hotel Breakfast. And I mean a European-style quality hotel breakfast with fresh breads. I made bread last week and froze most of it. We toasted some this morning and brought out the Almond Butter and homemade Prune Butter. This bread was made with organic Einkorn flour and…
First Meal: Fresh oranges are so delightful in the morning. Leftover Steel Cut Oats with Apples and Raisins are an easy breakfast. I ate it cold, no need to heat it. It tastes like dessert. Second Meal: I love using big Romaine Lettuce Leaves as wraps. Why don’t we do this more often?…
First Meal: I had an audition in the morning and Gary had acting class. I came home first, starving. We had not eaten anything this morning. I took out all the leftovers and thought I would make Baked Falafel. When the Falafel were almost done, Gary came home and I warmed up the Potatoes and…
First Meal: I did it! I made Soy Foam almost as good as Gary’s this morning. My Soy Foam typically deflates quickly. But today I took the time making it and it came out wonderful. Like Gary makes it. I made Steel Cut Oats too, served with Blueberries, Flax Seeds, Apples, Raisins, Cinnamon and Sunflower…
First Meal: I am having leftovers for breakfast, starting with Corn Chowder. Next up a slice of Ezekiel toast with Gary’s “Tuna” Salad, made with Garbanzo Beans. Second Meal: We went to Manhattan for a memorial service. It was quite sad. When we left the church it was snowing outside. We were by…
